Supported Schema Versions and Retirement Policy

Schema Support and Retirement

Travelport recommends updating to the latest version of the schema at least once per year to ensure you are not required to make a three-year schema jump when a schema version is retired.

Important! Universal API provides support for schema versions for up to three years. After the retirement date, transactions that are sent using retired schema versions may fail.

Schema Retirement of Releases 17.3 through 19.1 will be retired in 2025.

Retired Schema Versions

Note: The following schema will NOT be retired until further notice. Their addition to the Release Number / Schema Version columns are to note which versions of the schema were a part of the associated release.

Available Schema Versions
